Heartfelt Creations Wednesday 5-25-11

I have been dying to get my hands on the Pink Paislee Butterfly collection. Then...I get a package in the mail form Heartfelt Creations, and not only does it contain the new stamp collection, but it also has papers from the most beautiful paper collections!!! One was the Butterfly Garden Collection, and coordinating card stock in yummy colors!! cant wait to use the others! Thank You Emma Lou and Linda, your taste is exquisite!! I had fun putting this layout together. And thinking outside the box to use the stamps is what I did this week. I hope you enjoy the tutorial for the Posy Patch flowers below this post. And please go visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see what the Design Team has revealed for you this week!! You will be inspired.

I inked some small chip board letters for the title.I scanned the patterned paper and cropped out the butterflies in Photoshop and created a file. Printed them up, stickled them and placed them on my layout.I created the circle using my technique using Corner Punches.Close up of flowers and leaves. The tutorial uses the Posy Patch Flower stamp. Tutorial is below.I cut apart the new Bella Rose Leaves stamp. There are so many possibilities with just this one beautiful stamp!Just another closeup.Products Used on This Project

Distress and ink patterned paper and sew to solid card stock for background. The Vintage word stamp was inked on random parts of the stamp and stamped around the page. Decorative edge punch a strip of card stock, ink on both sides and use a ribbon hole punch to punch holes and weave hand colored seam binding through the middle of the strip, then adhere towards bottom of layout. Layer and cluster coordinating inked papers, corner punched decorative circle and edge punched matted photo to the middle of the Layout. The Posy Patch flowers were stamped, cut apart and rearranged into 3 dimensional flowers. The leaves were stamped, die cut, colored with Glimmer mist, stamped and highlighted with coralink then cut apart. The flowers and leaves were then clustered and arranged as shown on the layout. The butterflies were then arranged randomly around the layout. The title chipboard letters were inked with coral and adhered to layout.

Gorgeous page! I love those! Last week I was trying to figure out how to get a peony out of my stamps, now I can stop trying to figure it out! These are out of this world gorgeous!! Thanks for the how-to!!
